I haven't really been in the Classics Section since spring I think, so just thought I'd stop in and say hi. I got really depressed about my car, so I left it where it sat and havent even looked at it since then. I might be working on it again now though, money isn't as tight and I might have some help (which I desperately need).

How's the cars coming?

Well, I got mine back from the paint shop on Christmas Eve. Stuck the hubcaps and badges and front bumper back on for the pic.
Don't be a stranger. Always enjoyed your posts.

 

Lookin good old man!

 

Hey, think you were here and gone before my time, Name's joe, got a wimbeldon white 67 convertible, put in rockers, floors, doing quarter skins now... engine is in the shop

so what exactly led to you leaving your car?

 

Just too much work for me, its a complete "frame-off" restoration and I'm working 2 jobs, full time med student, have no money or room to work.

 

What part of MD are you in?

 

My 67 can't stop breaking down. It hasn't ran right in about 2 months. First was clutch, then alternator, and now harmonic balancer.

 

Those damn American parts! [shakes fists in anger]

I bought mine as a rolling chassis and the rolling part was completely shot...

 

Mine is almost back together after replacing the harmonic balancer, but I drained the battery and the charger says it is good so it doesn't want to start.

 

Hey Nic, good to hear from you again.

I've pretty much gone through my whole suspension, I'm starting to run out of affordable upgrades....
